We hold tension in our bodies from physical, emotional, and mental injuries. Massage is one of oldest healing practices because it helps ease tension. Whether weekly, monthly, or quarterly, receiving a therapeutic massage can help to feel more ease in our body. Massage calms the nervous system, promoting deeper breathing, decreased heart rate, and increased sensation.
Feeling decreased pain & discomfort, experiencing decreased emotional responses, feeling more openness and flexibility in the body are common experiences from receiving a massage. Increased body awareness strengthens one's ability and capacity to heal injuries. As one understands and embodies sensation more, they become more responsive to massage and bodywork.

I am a passionate massage therapist with a focus on sensation and embodiment to allow clients to feel more ease in their bodies and life. My focus is to aid clients recovering from trauma (physical, emotional, etc.) and provide them with with healing touch and provide an empathetic and safe environment.
My approach to massage is to talk to my clients about the discomfort and pain they are experiencing and the goals they have for our sessions. Through visual observation I analyze holding patterns and compare them with what I feel in their body. After considering the client's comfort and goals, I then select the most efficient modalities to begin therapy.
24 hours in advance. Please understand that when you forget or cancel your appointment without giving enough notice, this impacts my time and pay while missing the opportunity to fill the appointment to help other clients. Thank you! I appreciate it! Any cancellations with less than 24 hours of notice are subject to a cancellation fee amounting to the cost of the scheduled service.
If this will be your first massage, let me know! When you first arrive, I will give you a basic health form to fill out. Then I will have a discussion with you about what you are experiencing in your body. At that point, I will leave the room to wash my hands and allow you to get on the table.
Some people like to receive massage naked (your body will always be covered other than the area of the body I'm working on), some people prefer to keep their underwear on, while others prefer to be fully clothed.I can perform my work at any level of dress. I will communicate to you about being comfortable during the massage, but you always have the ability to ask for more pressure, less pressure, changing the music, changing the temperature, etc.

My belief is that sensation is a gateway to healing an injury. Coupled with movement, sensation plays an integral role in our lives by communicating to us what feels good and what feels painful, allowing us to consciously move toward pleasure or pain. Sensation is the perception or awareness of a stimuli providing a form of communication from the body to the brain.

I started playing hockey again, and screwed up my right upper arm. After being in pain for a day I decided to have Aaron look at it. The work he performed on my arm (ortho bionomy) was awesome, my pain eased, and I was feeling back to normal 1-2 days later. I plan on going back to have him help me with my upper back / spine.

Phenomenal experience. Aaron made me feel very comfortable from the beginning, and created a very safe and relaxing environment. He took the time to get to know me, and discuss any pain points I was experiencing, so he knew where he could focus his energy.
The massage itself was wonderful. He checked in consistently to make sure the pressure was right, and that I was comfortable.
Afterwards, I noticed immediate relief in my troubled areas, and today, have no pain or soreness.
Thank you for such a great experience. Will definitely book another appointment.

I received a one hour craniosacral massage from Aaron, my first massage of this type. In contrast to previous massages I'd received, Aaron exhibited a careful, detail oriented professionalism. He was very knowledgeable and sensitive to individual variability, adapting his approach toward areas of injury and tension. Aaron has clearly studied massage and anatomy in much depth. As a healthcare professional, I'm very impressed with his communication and approach to clients. I felt comfortable and relaxed, which allowed him to do the work the needed to do. I highly recommend him for a high

My first massage was a traditional massage. As I was preparing for a half-marathon, I needed to have my muscles worked on and stretched out. Immediately, Aaron's compassionate nature and calming energy allowed my body to relax from the beginning. He started by asking questions that allowed him to be more aware of where my tensions were and then asked me to stand comfortably so he could see my posture. Once the massage began, I was so comfortable and relaxed that I actually fell asleep! He was able to focus on the tension I was feeling in my runner's legs and by the end, I felt taller
